So a great Olympics for GB comes to an end. If it were a hypothetical toss-up between winning the Euros and doing well in the Olympics, I'd take the latter every time. Great for the whole 4 countries, not just the football supporters of one of them. After all, sport's more than just football...

One of the great Olympic GB performances of all time.

Boxing's going well too. Joe Joyce in the Semi-Finals of the Super-Heavyweight is worth at least a bronze.

Kenny - phew... Unbelievable. It's happened again!

Apparently the Premiership started this weekend. Watching these GB Olympians, I really couldn't care less...

Really feel for Louis Smith. Broke down in tears on the podium. They're good friends according to Beth Tweddle on the BBC live thread, but it must've been tough to be so close once again to gold. Whitlock was majestic though.

There looks like about 25 people at most watching the Mixed Doubles final. Seen more than that at Hove Park.

WR for Wiggo and the Men's Pursuit. Gold medal match v Australia.

Skinner beat the OR...then Kenny smashed it. It's all about GB in the velodrome.

It's got its ups and downs. Silver with the dancing horses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_bJf3foa5I

Fiji are historically so good at 7s as they never had enough players on the island to properly focus on 15 a side. With magical handling skills, they are definitely the purists choice.

Fiji far too strong in the tackle, offloading the ball on most occasions having taken out a GB tackler. Fiji - the best team in the 7s by far. But GB have done really well to take a silver medal. A great tournament overall. Having watched and coached 7s in Dubai, it's definitely worth its...

Early days, but probably worth a bounce...

It's amazing what a home advantage will give a nation. But GB is great at events in which we're sitting down (cycling, rowing), so plenty of seated medals to come.

Well done Ed Ling. Gold, Silver and Bronze now for GB.

Great swim. We need an early gold as we're currently behind Vietnam in the medal table. Shame about the cycling road race, but there's always plenty more to come in the velodrome...

According to the BBC, Brazil officials are taking an interesting position already on security: "There's a fair few reports of long queues around Olympic Park, and Brazilian journalist Breno Pires is claiming that x-ray machines have been turned off to try and cut down "two hour" waiting times."

"Doping now is everything that, firstly, is harmful to an athlete's health and, secondly, artificially augments his performance. If it's just the second case, for me that's not doping." - Juan Antonio Samaranch, IOC President 1980-2001 With attitudes like this from the top, it's no wonder that...
